On our way south, Orewa seemed a good point to break our journey. However Motel owners in Orewa seem to have odd, expensive, views of what a room should cost midweek in the off season. Until we tried the Beachcomber that is. Very reasonable rates. We had a very comforable studio room which was clean and spacious. Possibly in need... More

On our way up to the top of the north island and needed to stay enroute. What a great decision we made to stop at the Beachcomber. Location was great, just opposite the beach, withn easy walking distance of the shops. The unit was spacious, clean and very comfortable. Hosts were so friendly. Would recommend to anyone and would definitely... More

We loved Beachcomber hotel. Cannot speak highly enough of the fantastic service we received there. Richard was fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble. We were only going to stay one night, but stayed three. Rooms are quite dated but very roomy and clean.

We turned up after dark seeking a motel for the night on our way south from the Bay of Islands and heading to the Bay of Plenty the next day. The room was actually a 1 bedroom apartment with cooking equipment, clean and comfortable and well maintained, even although it is an older style motel. Richard was very helpful and... More

Richard and Patrea were extremely friendly and helpful when booking the room and on arrival. The room we stayed in was huge, clean and comfortable with an amazing view and everything we needed. Great location, straight across the road from the beach and the Surf Club, short stroll to Orewa's many shops and eateries! Definately recommend and will be back!

This is a great place to stay. Richard and Patrea make you feel like family. They gave us advise on what to see and where to stay. They even called and booked us into other hotels to make sure we had a place to stay on our travels. Great people. Great place to stay. Gerry and Pat Smith Canada.

My mother was staying here and at late notice in the afternoon we called in to visit her and tried to get a room for the night too. The motel was fully booked but Richard, the manager went above and beyond the call of duty to help us. He produced a bed that wasn't being used from another unit and... More

The motel is a short walk to the shops &... More
